Abstract

Microalgae and Cyanobacteria are potentially diverse, dominant photosynthetic organisms in nature. Initially, eight strains belonging to Marine cyanobacteria and Microalgae, based on growth, were selected. C. vulgaris BDU G91771 was used to study the possibility of utilizing ossein effluents. The organism was inoculated in two different effluents (HTDS and LTDS) with seawater and nutrient dilutions, namely (effluent, effluent with Seawater with N:P. The maximum lipid productivity was observed in 100%LTDS + Nutrients (Urea and superphosphate) with 16.8%. Lipid composition in fatty acids appeared to be suitable for biodiesel production. The results showed that the marine microalgae C. vulgaris BDU G91771 could be used to treat ossein effluents, and at the same time, to produce biodiesel sustainably.
